Here's my bakery story, the family was taking a road trip for the day. I had been from Utah > Wyoming > Idaho and back to Utah. We were driving through Montpelier, ID on the way home. Montpelier is the location of the bank robbery remembered from the days of the wild bunch, Butch Cassidy and his gang. Anyway as I was driving through the kids were asking to stop and get a treat. I noticed a little bakery that was open, it was Sunday and was a very mormon community so it was a surprise. My 2 daughters and I ventured in. I actually felt sorry for the counter person, it was the most pathetic donut shop I'd ever seen. The donuts looked questionable at best. I bought a half dozen chocolate cake donuts and left. My wife refused to try one herself and wouldn't let the kids eat any. I on the other hand I decided to give it a go. Horrible tasting, crispy, chewy and loaded with grease. I couldn't swallow and at the next rest stop I dumped the remaining donuts.

Next time through we noticed it was a small appliance repair shop.
 
Origin Of the New Years Pretzel

Origin of the New Years Pretzel

The twists and turns of the pretzel can be traced back to 610AD when the monks used scraps of dough and formed them into strips to represent a child’s arm folded in prayer. The three holes represented the Holy Trinity. The monks baked the pretzels and offered this warm, doughy bread to children who had memorized their Bible verses and prayers. The monks called it“pretiola,” Latin for“little reward.” Children in Austria and Germany began to tie “pretiola” or what they called “bretzein” around their necks at the beginning of the New Year. German immigrants brought this tradition to the United States where they became “pretzels” and German bakers made pretzel coffeecakes for the New Year so that everyone could partake a piece to insure their own prosperity, health and good fortune in the New Year.
